We're recruiting caring individuals who want to make a real difference at home.
A career that makes a difference
Loidis Care is looking for caring individuals to join our family-oriented company. Our goal is to help our clients live safe, independent lives within their own homes by providing excellent care services. We support individuals who require assistance with daily activities due to age, illness, disability, or other circumstances.
The role of our carers is to ensure the well-being and quality of life of individuals who need assistance, allowing them to remain in their homes for as long as possible. We employ, train, and equip our staff to provide the most effective care and support.

- Flexible working
- Full-time hours
- Training provided
- Mileage allowance
- Paid holidays
- Pension scheme
- Team support
- Development opportunities
What the role involves
Carers should recognise and respect the dignity and value of clients at all times, take into account their needs and wishes, and maximise their independence and physical and emotional welfare. There is a care plan in each client’s home; it varies from client to client, and it is the carer’s responsibility to keep all records up to date.
- Personal care: assisting clients with mobility, washing, dressing, elimination (bowel and bladder) functions, and decision-making to varying degrees.
- Housekeeping: as directed by the client, daily bed making, dusting, vacuuming and laundry as requested.
- Meals: clients’ tastes are usually simple, but like all of us they like their food nicely cooked, either from the microwave or oven.
- Client finances: when entrusted with cash to pay for goods and services, a record must be kept of receipts and payments in the care plan. Carers should not accept gifts, gratuity or financial loans from clients, or enter into any form of financial transaction.
What we look for
You don’t need to tick every box — but these are the qualities and practicalities that help our carers thrive.
- Drivers: a full driving licence and access to a personal car.
- Experience: some experience within the care sector, delivering day-to-day personal care in a person-centred way.
- Flexibility: flexible working and alternate weekends.
- Compassion and empathy: providing emotional support and understanding to clients during challenging times.
Our professional standards
- Clothing: be neat and tidy (uniforms available from Loidis), with minimum jewellery, nails kept short and hair tied back. Wear practical flat shoes and comfortable clothing. Gloves and aprons are available in all clients’ homes.
- Mobile phones: switched off or on silent while in a client’s home, and not answered while there except in an emergency. Clients’ phones must not be used unless in an emergency.
- Identity badges: must be worn and shown at all times on entering a client’s premises, especially when covering another shift and not yet familiar to the client.
- Alcohol and smoking: carers must not attend a client’s home under the influence of alcohol or drugs, nor use them on the client’s premises.
- Visitors: carers’ friends must not be invited into or taken to clients’ homes. Please use your discretion to allow clients privacy on the telephone.
